Porsche 917: The Winning Formula

The Full Story Of The World's Greatest Racing Car

By: Peter Morgan

The super-fast Porsche 917 dominated international motorsport in the early 1970s. A racing car conceived amid bitter family rivalry and designed to win the world-famous Le Mans 24 Hours race, the 917 became the focus of obsessive ambition for all connected with its development. After a brilliant victory at Le Mans, where Porsche had been campaigning unsuccessfully for 19 years, it won North America's Can-Am series two years running. Here is the full story of the 917, recently voted the world's greatest racing car.
